Olympus Mons II
An independent investigator is deployed to the isolated orbital station 'Olympus Mons II' following the discovery of a deceased station director. The mission is to sift through the station's corporate facade, analyze conflicting biometric logs, encrypted data-slates, and environmental anomalies to untangle the circumstances of the death.
Initial Crime Scene
The first breath of station air carries a sterile, ozone-laced scent over a faint chemical tang. A monolithic hum vibrates from the server racks lining the corridor, while the deck plating underfoot is a scrubbed, grey composite. Corroded access panels with pitted, green-oxidized surfaces run along the life-support conduits, and a data-slate screen on the bulkhead shows a localized pixel-burn from a rapid, repeated deletion cycle.
Crime Scene Environment
The lighting is a harsh, functional white, casting deep shadows. The air is cold and dry, maintained at a low humidity. Acoustic density is low, dominated by the steady hum of life-support and cooling systems, punctuated by the occasional, distant clang of thermal expansion.
Investigation Constraints
Biometric access logs, encrypted corporate data-slates, neural-link health monitors, localized AI diagnostics systems, orbital station life-support and gravity regulators, secure hard-line intercoms, data-wipe protocols requiring physical biometric keys.
